Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
James Malone employs several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports moving toward valued action - useful for anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own strengths; it creates a collaborative, nonjudgmental space for adults to explore identity, relationships, and emotional challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and James works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques as therapy progresses so that treatment feels relevant and responsive to each client’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable while still receiving structured, goal-focused care from a trained therapist.
